Redrow asks ‘Why rent when you can buy?’

Tenants who are sick and tired of forking out monthly rent for a property that is not legally their own are encouraged to visit Redrow’s surprisingly affordable apartments at West 12 in Leeds.

Just right for buyers eager to take a beginner’s step onto the property ladder, the competitively priced apartments provide an ideal dwelling in Lower Wortley, close to the city centre.

Once on the ladder, purchasers will hopefully be able to begin the process of building up some equity and will also be able to live the life they want to live – instead of their landlord’s choice.

Sue Lambert, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire) says: “There has been much discussion in the property world regarding the pros and cons of renting versus buying.

“Tenants are often restricted in terms of what changes they can make to the décor of their property, whereas home owners have free reign. Likewise, those renting are paying out ‘dead money’ month after month on something they do not legally own.

“Most agree that owning a home of your own is the preferable option but many think they will never be able to afford it – but that doesn’t have to be the case, especially at West 12, where we have a wide selection of stylish apartments at competitive prices, as well as experienced sales staff to help home ownership easy to understand.

“More importantly we can offer great incentives like 5% deposit paid or £500 per calendar month towards the mortgage for two years, both of which will help struggling first time buyers to make that all-important first step.”

West 12 is an exciting contemporary development of one and two-bedroom apartments situated in a desirable location close to the bright lights of Leeds city centre and all its shops, bars and nightlife. Prices start from as little as £115,995 for a one-bedroom apartment – well below the stamp duty threshold, which is another stumbling block for many first time buyers.

Sue continues: “The apartments come with a high quality finish complete with flooring throughout and silver appliances such as fridge, washer, hob, oven and extractor hood.”

There are also spacious two-bedroom Argal apartments from £157,995 and, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, they’re ideal for friends sharing to get onto the property ladder.

As well as having a wealth of amenities nearby, West 12 is well positioned for commuters, being close to the A6110, M621 and the M1 motorways.
